low pressure music lessons meant to build confidence and skill without the stress
Music lessons were once a source of stress for me. The pressure to perform and the fear of failure made me dread each session. Despite my initial excitement for piano and violin lessons in elementary school, I struggled to practice regularly, partly due to undiagnosed ADHD and a lack of confidence amidst a whirlwind of other activities.
The constant question, "Did you practice?" became a dreaded moment of truth. do I lie or face the shame of admitting I hadn't? Years of struggling with the same tedious songs eventually led me to quit both piano and violin altogether.
Throughout high school and college, I explored different instruments and teachers, but my confidence as a musician remained fragile. It wasn't until I discovered a passion and talent for singing that I found my musical voice.
Reflecting on my journey, I realized the profound impact of teaching styles on my motivation and progress. Some teachers instilled fear and pressure, leading to self-doubt and tension. In contrast, those who offered gentle encouragement and praise nurtured my confidence and inspired me to excel.
I am deeply committed to a teaching approach that fosters love for music and celebrates individual progress. Unlike traditional methods that emphasize discipline and conformity, my philosophy revolves around praising small victories and cultivating a positive learning environment. This approach, akin to reverse psychology, empowers students to embrace music on their terms and motivates them to strive for excellence.
As a teacher, I strive to be the mentor I wish I had. an educator who understands the unique needs of each student and fosters their passion for music with patience and positivity.
I teach at the student’s pace and personalize the learning experience based on what they want to learn, not just what is traditionally taught. I am experienced in preparing vocal students for college auditions, show auditions, etc. Whether you are just starting, want to learn a new skill, or are an experienced student musician, I will provide lessons suited to your needs and goals.
music lessons should not be one size fits all.
I provide personalized private and group music instruction that empowers clients to build confidence and skill as musicians in a nurturing, pressure-free environment. I believe in adapting my approach and curriculum to meet each student's unique goals and interests, ensuring a customized learning experience.
